Hex Key (Allen Wrench) Bondhus 17.0 mm — length 280 mm

Bondhus Hex Key (Allen Wrench) 17.0 mm — length 280 mm is a steel hand tool designed for driving hexagonal socket screws and bolts. Its 17.0 mm head size fits standard hex fasteners of the same dimension, while the 280 mm length provides extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners and increased leverage for tightening and loosening. The tool is intended for use where a long 17 mm hex driver is required in workshop, maintenance, assembly and repair tasks.

Advantages

The solid steel construction ensures durability and resistance to bending under torque. The extended 280 mm shaft delivers additional reach to access deep-set fasteners and improves mechanical advantage for higher torque applications. The precisely machined hex tip provides accurate fit to reduce rounding of screw heads. Its simple, single-piece design makes it easy to clean and maintain and suitable for repeated use in professional and hobby environments.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed or hard-to-reach 17 mm hex socket fasteners in machinery and equipment
• Assembly and disassembly tasks that require extra reach and leverage
• Vehicle maintenance and mechanical repair where long hex drivers are needed
• Workshop and industrial maintenance jobs involving 17 mm hex bolts

Key specifications

• Hex head size: 17.0 mm
• Overall length: 280 mm
• Material: steel
• Tip style: hexagonal socket driver
• Design: single-piece long-shaft Allen wrench for greater reach and leverage

How to use

Insert the 17.0 mm hex tip fully into the fastener’s recess to ensure a secure, concentric engagement. Apply steady rotational force, using the length of the shaft to increase leverage for tightening or loosening as required. For tasks requiring higher torque, position your hands closer to the end of the shaft for maximum leverage while maintaining control to avoid slipping. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a safe, dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use only on correctly matched 17 mm hex socket fasteners to minimize risk of damage to the fastener or tool. Avoid excessive impact or hammering on the tool; for stubborn fasteners consider using penetrating lubricant and steady torque rather than sudden shocks. Inspect the tip periodically for wear and replace the tool if deformation or rounding appears.
